Here we present our interface model and research demonstrators based on our context-aware virtual personal server space system, called “Nightingale”. Based on digital paper and collaborative interface technologies, we focus on reminiscence activities for their use in promoting social and intellectual fitness in the elderly. The Nightingale middleware consists of three planes of service (data, cont

The study is based on interviews andfocuses on computer usage in everyday action and interaction. In many cases, the possibilities thatthe computer and Internet offer have meant not only important improvements in quality of life, butfirst-time oc
Using a simulated model of a house consisting of two adjacent rooms, the temperature of the two rooms is controlled with a PI controller and a decoupled PI controller. This is compared to MPC control. In the simulation example here, both the MPC controller and the decoupled PI controller decreased the interaction between the temperature dynamics of the two rooms, as compared to an independent PI c
